SHOW SUMMARY: In part two of this week’s The Fix with PWTorch VIP analyst Todd Martin and host PWTorch editor Wade Keller, they answer Mailbag questions on these topics:

  • Another theory on the Bellas book being called “Incomparable.”
  • Is it time to cut way back on dives and just let a few wrestlers on each roster do them?
  • Is Cody’s approach to defending the TNT Title actually hurting Cody because he’s going so long with wrestler people don’t really know and he’s missing out on feuds with well-known established stars?
  • From a Star Power Mount Rushmore standpoint, who belongs alongside The Rock, Hulk Hogan, and Steve Austin?
  • Why did some mid-carders have such good win-loss records and which mid-carder from the 1990s have a better chance today?
  • An idea for a trade of Samoa Joe to another era and who he’d be traded for.
  • Is WWE a wrestling company or something else entirely and thus shouldn’t be compared to wrestling companies?
  • Were there wrestlers whose careers you missed out on watching in real time?

  • What are the best and worst faction names over the decades?
  • Why does Wade keep calling Chad Gable by his awful new name?
  • How does Cody’s Open Challenge rank against some other open challenge gimmicks in the past?
  • Could Randy Savage have been better utilized than his feud with George “The Animal” Steele in the mid-1980s?
  • Does the pressure to make WWE more of a “sports-like presentation” do more harm than good at expanding the audience?
  • How does Shane McMahon’s Raw Underground dancers fit into the PG13 rating?
  • Is anything on Raw and Smackdown as bad as Raw and Smackdown these days?
  • Have you seen Hamilton yet and, if so, what is your favorite song?
  • What is the story with the Arn Anderson-Sid stabbing?
